Don't be fooled by it's size, Minitaur delivers all the growl, snarl and low end assosiciated with the Taurus family of Bass Synthesizers in a rugged performance package that is small enough to take with you anywhere!

Moog Minitaur Compact Analog Bass Synthesizer Features

One knob per function interface for tweaking and creating new sounds on the fly

Two oscillators with Sawtooth (Original Taurus) and Square wave-shapes for each VCO

Recreate sounds of the original Taurus with sawtooth waves, or create new sounds with square waves or a combination of both

Two Minimoog style ADSR Envelope Generators for modulating VCF and VCA. The Decay and Release segments are controlled by the Decay knob, while the Release segment is enabled or disabled via Release On/Off switch

VCF Cutoff: Sets the Cutoff Frequency of the 4-pole Moog Lowpass VCF from 20Hz to 20KHz

VCF Resonance: This sets the gain for the amount of signal from the output of the VCF fed back to the input of the VCF. This creates a peak in Frequency response at the Cutoff Frequency that can be increased all the way to self-oscillation

VCF EG Amount: Bi-polar control sets the (+) or (-) Amount of Envelope Generator modulation of the VCF. Center is no Envelope Generator modulation

LFO Rate: Sets the frequency of the LFO. Range is from 0.01Hz to 100Hz

LFO VCO Amount: Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates the VCO

LFO VCF Amount: Sets the Amount that the LFO modulates VCF

VCA EG Attack: Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds

VCA EG Decay/Release: Sets both the decay time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch

VCA EG Sustain: Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCA

VCF EG Attack: Sets the attack Time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds

VCF EG Decay/Release: Sets both the decay Time to the sustain level and release time of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF. Time ranges from 1 msec to 30 seconds. The Release segment of the EG is enabled by the Release On/Off switch

VCF EG Sustain: Sets the sustain level of a Minimoog-Style ADSR Envelope Generator used to modulate the VCF

Great analog sound, there is noting like it. Very easy to tweak and adjust sounds from the front panel. I plan on doing a lot of recordings with this bad boy.I highly recommend it for any project or professional studio.
